The round upper area pulses in and out the botton looks like a tail. It is approx 1/2 inch long in the curled position you see here. The top might be the mouth? This area looks hard as does the bottom. The "mouth" looks fake and appears to have two circles. Some kind of Flatworm?

Does it swim freely? Or is it attached to the rock? It does look like some kind of flatworm. Some flatworms are able to swim. They use an undulating motion.

It is attached to the rock and is getting larger. The "mouth?" is almost to the "tail now and the whole thing is thicker. It looks like their is some kind of object that moves in and out of the "mouth" holes. I will take new pics and post april 15th. SFLA tank pics

I believe this to be some kind of Sipuncula worm. It has the same opening that I have seen in pictures of Sipuncula worms. I really dont know just the direction I am leaning. The picture of a peanut worm in hitchhikers archive of a peanut worm has same "mouth" as mine but body is different.
